also 100m3 is a sexy number =]
also also 6 lows on a brutix as well as a PG increase could be very interesting.

Compare the Drake's DPS with 7 single bonused launchers to the Cyclone's 5 single bonused launchers and get back to me.

Sure it has 50m3 drones, but that's less than 200 dps with Hammer IIs and unbonused autocannons are sooooo bad

It's an RoF bonus which is worth more than a flat damage bonus (compares to 7.5%/level flat damage bonus IIRC). Added to a 50m3 drone bay and a decent tank and I don't see what you're sperging about.

I mean who cares we need someone to make EFT changes so we can all post fits that prove our respective points, call each other idiots and then go back to never logging in.

Point is it has 40% fewer launchers (its main source of DPS) than its primary competitor (the Drake) and its 25 extra cubes and two unbonused turrets won't make up for that, especially when you consider damage mods.

The Drake also has 500 more raw shield HP (5250 vs 4750), an additional mid slot and a better tanking bonus.

The drake has effectively 1.8something more unbonused launchers, i think 25m3 of extra drone space and two unbonused turrets would make up for that even after considering damage mods.

Their total dps output is actually similar (Drake has slightly more), but the cyclone has utility highs, and the cyclone is way faster and more agile, and as some may have noticed that in the drake changes it's speed and agility have been nerfed into the ground. It also lost some fitting which means it can't actually fit a full rack of hams/hmls with full tackle, t2 tank and t2 bcus anymore, you have to start dropping things to meta for it to fit.
